Hays puts sports ahead of academics
Do we at Fort Hays State University understand how fortunate we are to have a university in a town of about 20,000? Do the people of Hays understand? I’m finally completely convinced they don’t.
I recently read a news release boasting the results of the second annual Tiger Auction and Dinner, and I’m fascinated. This relatively new Fort Hays [...]
Laughter is still the best medicine
In one of my classes the other day, the class was discussing poetry – you know, analyzing and all the stuff that goes along with that. The specific love poem we were discussing was written way back in the day, before you or I were even born. While discussing imagery, a guy said, “Well, she’s dizzy.

Review
The time has come, once again, for gamers to drain a ridiculous amount of money into a game that usually turns out to be a disappointment. That’s right. “Madden 12” is here.
I had the fantastic opportunity to play the newest addition to the franchise against sports ed [...]
Football wins season debut
“If you can win the turnover battle, you can win the game.” This is what coaches all over America say before a football game. The Fort Hays State University football team did exactly that on their season opener Saturday. The Tigers forced four turnovers in their 27-12 victory over Emporia State University.
“Coach Brown said if we get more tur [...]
